CWC 2019: Five areas of concern in the Indian squad

#5 Recent IPL form of a few players

Although IPL wasn't a parameter for selection, it can certainly be a parameter for judging the form of the players. And shockingly, the performance of numerous players have been forgettable. Vijay Shankar, who has been chosen as India's No. 4, has had a horrendous season so far.

The case has been same for India's best swing bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He will have the onus for taking early wickets, and if he won't be able to do so, it will play a spoilsport India's hopes of winning the World Cup. Players like Kuldeep Yadav, Dinesh Karthik, and Kedar Jadhav have also disappointed. Rohit Sharma has also been in an indifferent form considering his stature.

Fortunately, half of the IPL is still left, meaning that these players have got sufficient time to get back to form. Every player will play an important role in India's campaign, and the poor form of any of these will put the team one step behind.
